He is a real hammer.

[MTK]

Sounds raw but has potential.

Sounds like a good character guy, served in the military.

Definitely needs work.

Newberry-POSITIVES Moves well latterally and has good instincts, keys and diagoneses quickly. Very good range to play ot the sideline, natural athlete and will fly to the ball. plays fast and has a passion for the game. TIme blitzes nicely. Can sift through traffic and makes a lot of plays in backsie pursuit. Great body contral and change of direction. best in coverage and shows good enough cover skills to make a switch to strong safety. reliable tackler. very smart. NEGATIVES production dropped as a senior, undersized, stuggles taking on blocks, marginal strength. Gives ground to run around blocks at times and takes himself out of plays. limited power and explosiveness on contract. Gets knocked around at point of attack. Does not use his hands well to shed. ....................

Overall not bad.......Williams can mold him and needs time in weight room to add strength________________

[drew54]

Former basketball player. Has the size of a TE @ 6-1 and 234. Runs in the 4.75 range and is considered to be very athletic.

I'm thinking there is our TE project pick. I wonder how his hands are?

A little small for TE I would think?

[That Guy]

he could play SS, TE (though i doubt it, blocking and hands arent his strengths) OLB, FB, or ILB (gibbs said he thought more ILB cause he's supposed to be really smart)... he played OLB in college because the personnel they had for that position sucked, but he also played FB i believe.

[Big C]

yeah kinda confused here, since we got our bruiser in round 4...will have to hear gibbs explanation. will probably say he was the highest on their board or something

[monk81]

Well we drafted yet another FB.......Broughton/Citadel......
POSITIVES: Built like a truck with stocky legs and a thick frame. Workhorse back with good power and strength to pound it inside. Strong runner. At his best between tackles. Runs with good pad level and nice balance. Has natural hands. Solid blocker. Self starter with good work ethic.

NEGATIVES-Has not faced tough competition. Not very elusive and lacks lateral quickness. Does not have the speed to bounce it outside or go the distance. Only knows one speed. Musclebound and stiff with limited flexibility that affects his route running.

Summary-Built like a typical Steeeler bulldozing back, but looked lie just a guy at the Senior Bowl and will be a fullback for most teams........


Don't you love those colorful descriptions

P.S. Did anyone else notice that silly shirt Andy Reid had on........hahahaha
